"Report! The Akabuki Clan Elder is dead! "
"Report! The Clan's priest and witch have been taken by the seven samurai! "
"Report! The enemy has entered the first floor of Heavensguard Pavilion! "
…
The reports came in one after another, but there was only despair.
"Is the Clan's hegemony going to end here?"
Yamada Husori's face reflected the light of the fire, looking surprisingly calm.
"My Lord, have you already come to this realization?"
The other old ministers all cried out one after another.
"I really want to step on Green Song Mountain again in the cherry blossom season, to taste the cherry blossom pastries, it's really the best in the world …"
Yamada Husori walked into the inner room, and moments later, the sound of abdomen cutting could be heard.
Warriors should forget about death, and accept death calmly after defeat, this was Yamada Husori's realization!
Puff!
The samurai who fought desperately outside to buy time for his lord to cut his abdomen were beheaded, and their heads rolled in.
Kenichi Matsushita licked the blood on his sword, and with a sinister smile, he barged in. His sword flashed, and two old officials shouted as they charged at him.
"Ah … You're Kenichi Matsushita, Your Highness! I'm Naito Takamasa, we met before … Ah … "
A glimmer of hope appeared in Naito Takamasa's eyes, but soon after, he looked at the blade that had pierced his abdomen, his face filled with reluctance, and he slowly fell down.
"I don't want to die … I've just become a samurai …"
As he muttered, he fell into complete darkness.
"My lord doesn't wish to see anyone related to the Yamada family again!"
Kenichi Matsushita grinned. "Kill them! Kill them all! Leave no one alive! "
According to the unwritten rules of the Japanese world, even if a daimyo was defeated, as long as the person in charge cut his abdomen to apologize, the descendants could still keep the family name, live on by pledging loyalty to the enemy, and even get a piece of land to continue the samurai's glory.
But in Wu Ming's view, this was too inefficient.
At this time, the common people's widespread sympathy for the samurai who lost their land and the officials was the biggest unstable factor!
There were so many cases of 'the lower overcoming the higher', and many of them were caused by this policy of cutting weeds without removing the roots.
Of course, the most important thing was that Wu Ming knew that his foundation was too weak. He could not compare to the Yamada family, which had been rooted in the Iishi District for hundreds of years and ruled over it for decades!
If he left behind a descendant, he might be able to rely on this to regain the support of the local people and continue to oppose him.
In comparison, it would be more straightforward to kill them all.
In any case, the hearts of the people were the most snobbish. As long as the Yamada family was completely destroyed, he would display his power as a deterrent, and at the same time, he would give them a benevolent policy. After a few years, how many people would still remember the Yamada family?
"Is this Yamada Tomori? How can such a cowardly warrior be worthy of being the enemy of His Majesty? "
After entering the inner room, Kenichi Matsushita saw Yamada Toriyuki's body, which had been disemboweled.
He fell to the side with a pained expression on his face. Obviously, he did not follow the warrior's complete ritual of cutting the abdomen. He could not even close his legs.
"This is not a true samurai!"
When Kenichi Matsushita came out, he immediately heard many sounds of fighting, screaming, and even begging for mercy, mixed with the voices of women.
Heavensguard Pavilion was originally the residence of the Daimyo, so this was not surprising.
However, as the defeated ones, and Wu Ming had given the order to kill them, it was obvious what would happen to them. Even before they died, they would suffer the most tragic treatment.
Kenichi Matsushita was very clear about the character of the Oni Group's samurai. Before killing them, they would definitely 'make use' of them to their heart's content.
"This … is simply inhumane evil spirits!"
However, Guiyi Yijing could not stand it. He could kill the enemy samurai and Ashigaru without hesitation, but the dark side of the battlefield still made him feel a little nauseous and disgusted.
After wiping the sword in his hand, he quickly walked out of Heavensguard Pavilion.
At this time, one could see the strict management of the Gui family. Even though the Oni Group was slaughtering, the Ashigaru maintained order in an orderly manner, extinguished the fire, and even collected the spoils of war.
"Yijing -kun, you did well. Look at this …"
Outside, Kanosuke Yamanaka handed a few letters to Guiyi Yijing.
"This is …"
Guiyi Yijing was completely shocked when he saw the series of numbers.
"The Yamada family has already made an agreement with the Yiyu Clan to completely destroy the Gui family! They have already secretly sent three thousand Ashigaru led by Akigami Izosuke, as well as the priest group and the Swordmaster ninja … "
Kanosuke Yamanaka laughed. "Fortunately, the Yamada family is prosperous. His Majesty discovered the Yamada family's unusual movements in advance, so he took the initiative to strike first!"
"This is the world of war … I have the bloodline of the Susa family. I want to inherit the will of my ancestors, become a man of the world, and pacify this chaotic world!"
Guiyi Yijing clenched the letter in his hand. A faint thought emerged and was deeply rooted in his heart.
…
On the day of the military parade, the weather was bright and sunny.
On the high stand, Wu Ming, dressed in samurai armor, looked down with a solemn expression.
This was the traditional Daimyo Ashigaru army. With his strength of five thousand stones, it was just enough to support five hundred people.
As for the other five hundred regular soldiers? They were supported by the resources plundered by the ninja army, and they couldn't last long. That was why they needed to attack the entire Iishi District and even the Yun Nation!
However, even the Ashigaru, who were one rank lower, wore bright armor and lined up neatly under the stand.
"Such an Ashigaru is first-class even among the Daimyo …"
Sure enough, many of the family masters who were watching from both sides were shocked, and a look of fear appeared on their faces.
"The Nathan family, and the little bird You family … It's great that both of you can come!"
Wu Ming looked at the two family masters below, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Not at all!"
The two family masters hurriedly stepped out and knelt down to apologize. "We are the subjects of the Gui family, how dare we be disrespectful?"
The changes in Motian City last night had alarmed the local noble families, and everyone was suddenly frightened.
For example, these two family masters not only came in person, but also brought all the Ashigaru over, showing their loyalty.
"But … why didn't the Kojima family come?"
A trace of coldness flashed in Wu Ming's eyes, and he looked at the more than one thousand Daimyo troops below. "Everyone, are you willing to follow my orders?"
"Ha!"
Suddenly, all the family masters bowed their heads.
"Very well, then come with me to Motian City!"
There was a trace of a smile on Wu Ming's face. This was actually a victory parade, and it should be enough to shock the entire Aishi prefecture.
"Yes!"
Many family masters broke out in a cold sweat, knowing that the vague news was very likely to be true.
…
Motian City, in the Heavensguard Pavilion where the smell of blood had not completely dissipated.
After entering Motian City with a thousand Ashigaru in a high-profile manner, it meant that the Gui family had completely replaced the Yamada family, and became the new master of the Iishi District.
When they saw the heads of the entire Yamada family, the faces of the family heads turned pale with fright. A few of them even fainted from fright during the ceremony.
Immediately after, they hurriedly expressed their allegiance to the Gui family.
"The Heizawa family and the Kojima family are here too?"
Wu Ming's eyes were filled with coldness. "The Heizawa family, order them to contribute four hundred Ashigaru to join our army, and we will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, we will exterminate them immediately!"
"As for the Kojima family? Order the family master to commit seppuku as an apology! Then, let Kojima Masakataka inherit the position of the family governor, continue to be the family hostages, and contribute all the Ashigaru, or else we will exterminate them immediately! "
"Ha!"
With a wave of his hand, he decided the life and death of the two great clans under his command. Tachibana Maosuke increasingly felt that his master had unparalleled tolerance. At this time, he respectfully passed down the order.
After Tachibana Shigesuke left, a hint of joy appeared on Wu Ming's face.
The Yamada family was annihilated overnight, and all the great families in the prefecture had submitted to them. This immediately meant that the Gui family had replaced the Yamada family, and became the new daimyo of the Iishi District.
Moreover, the 20,000 Ashigaru represented a stronger ruling power than the Yamada family.
Boom!
At this moment, the fate above him shook, and the Wu family's fate instantly absorbed the red and white energy from the prefecture like rivers flowing into the sea. It became thicker, and there was a hint of gold in the middle.
"This is the transfer of the legal system … From today onwards, I am the new master of the Iishi District!"
At this thought, Wu Ming walked out again.
"My Lord! The remnants of the Yamada family in Muda City have not been completely eliminated, please bring the samurai with you! "
When he was outside, a few samurai immediately followed him.
Although Wu Ming's strength was enough to suppress everything, this was the law. The dozen or so Gui 1 guards had a plan, and even if the Lord was an ordinary person, as long as he did not seek death, even a Level 3 expert would not be able to assassinate him.
"Hmm … let's go to the shrine …"
Wu Ming was not a pretentious person. He immediately let the samurai lead the way, and seven samurai followed him to the shrine in Muda City.
"When I came here in the past, I only saw cherry blossoms falling, and it was beautiful. Now, things have changed, but the cherry blossoms are still as beautiful …"
Wu Ming looked at the cherry blossom forest, sighed, and walked into the shrine.
Compared to before, the shrine was in a mess, and there were no visitors. There were faint traces of fighting in the surrounding buildings, and the blood had not been wiped clean.
"My Lord, according to your orders, this shrine surrendered and handed over the rebel of the Yamada family. They resisted, so we killed the entire shrine …"
Beside him, a samurai said in a low voice.
Naturally, it was Gui 1 who took action. The other Ashigaru did not have the courage or the strength to do so.
"Hmm!"
Wu Ming did not comment. He came to the main hall, opened his Third Eye, and saw that most of the power of faith in the shrine had dissipated, and the original golden-red color had dissipated, leaving only a trace of red air, and the surroundings were shrouded in a black color. He smiled.
What would be left of a human dao god if the worship was destroyed?
Previously, Gui 1, with the power of the sun, could sweep away everything. This had already explained everything.
